One of the greatest consolations for those who have had their
children aborted is to be able to help others avoid that tragedy.
Testimonies by the thousands continue to be gathered by pro-life
organizations and other counseling agencies who, more and more, are
dealing with the destructive effects of the violent act of abortion
as they impact the mother of the child.

The Silent No More Awareness Campaign is a Campaign whereby
Christians make the public aware of the devastation abortion brings
to women and men. The campaign seeks to expose and heal the secrecy
and silence surrounding the emotional and physical pain of abortion.
There are over
1,600 testimonies posted on the Campaign website.

We post here the testimonies of individuals who have asked
us to use their stories to help others. If you have a testimony,
send it to us at

"It's possible that the infection will affect me having kids in the
future. It's possible that I'm infertile. I don't know yet, all I know
is that I am left traumatized, damaged, and heart broken by the
experience I went through."

"My life was hell on earth; I fought through such emotional trauma. I was
blinded as to what was causing it...I managed by trying to over achieve, and I
climbed the corporate ladder with consistent pain all the time. I still
drank heavily."

"I have recently decided that I must do something to help prevent others
from making the same mistakes I made, and suffering the way I have for
so many years...I
know for a fact that I am completely forgiven by God, but the guilt and suffering and long-term effects
continued for decades."

"I lived in a place of fear and depression for so long. Even
after my marriage and the birth of my daughter, who I wanted more than
anything in the world, I still tried to kill myself. I just could not
get peace, happiness, nothing."

"I said at the time, 'Let’s consider having the child,' it was
half-hearted, and I went along with the decision. I buried the memory
deep, and the impact was promiscuity, alcohol abuse, and relationship
issues as time went on."

"I would like to share my story not only to help with my pain, but maybe
to help someone else change their life, so they
will not have to cry for the rest of their lives about their unborn children that never had a chance."

"The young woman wasn’t told that when she had her “counseling” at the
abortion clinic she was going to walk out a totally different person
than when she came in. The young woman’s confidence went to zero...She began worrying and subconsciously being
self-destructive, not feeling like she ever fit in anywhere or was ever
really loved by anyone."

"Immediately after the abortion a tidal wave of regret and shame came over me and
did not leave. I couldn't just get back to normal life. I knew what I
did was horribly wrong and could not be taken back."

"I was the one who took her by the hand to the clinic. How can she do this to me again?I
didn’t realize the torment and stress Karen was undergoing. The
emotional, spiritual, physical drain must have been nearly
overwhelming. Yet I was mainly worried about me."

With no support from her boyfriend and from fear of bringing a child into her family situation, Heidi chooses abortion at 16. It is only after the birth of her daughter years later that she is able to start on the path to healing and wholeness.

"I drove her to the abortion facility three hours away. I was not
permitted to go inside with her so I had to leave her to face this
horrible ordeal alone. I felt guilty and helpless. I felt weak when
she needed me to be strong. I was ashamed for my lack of courage to do
the right thing."

"If anyone tells you that there are no side effects to having an abortion, I’m living proof that the side effects can be devastating. Not only do you rob yourself of a person that would enrich your life, you rob all your family as well. I tell you the pain of that realization is excruciating."
